My dear Sir
I must thank you for your very kind note. When next I come to London (for engagements fill up Monday & Tuesday) we must meet.2
I do not believe that anyone in England admires your admirable & energetic labours in the cause of science more sincerely than I do.—3
Yours very faithfully | Ch. Darwin
